The increased number of terror attacks and crimes have grown a demand for enhancing public security systems. In this sense reliable, cost effective, fast and physically non-hazardous imaging systems should be designed. Multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO)arrayswithultra-wideband(UWB)technologyoffersgreatadvantageousfor shortrangeimagingapplicationssuchasconcealedweapondetection(CWD).Inthis thesis, it is aimed to develop a design tool for MIMO array structures to be used in UWB, near-field (NF) imaging applications. The analyses starts with examination of one-way arrays for better understanding of the nature of UWB arrays. Then, continues with the derivation of point spread function (PSF) for UWB MIMO arrays as a decisive performance parameter. Simulation results of different MIMO array structures that are shared in the literature are examined with derived PSF expression in order to prove the validity of this method. Effects of large operational bandwidth, range to the target and location of the target on observation plane on performance of the array are discussed. Finally, a MIMO array structure to be used in airports for concealed weapon detection is proposed.

A Hadoop solution for ballistic image analysis and recognition
Kocakulak, Hakan; Taşkaya Temizel, Tuğba (2011-07-08)
The importance of ballistic applications has been recently recognized due to the increasing crime and terrorism threats and incidents around the world. Ballistic image analysis is one of the application areas which requires immediate response with high precision from large databases. Here, the microscopic markings on cartridge case of a bullet obtained in a crime scene are compared with that of images on ballistic databases for similarity in order to find out whether it is fired from any of the firearms wit...
Optimal design of sparse mimo arrays for wideband near-field imaging based on a statistical framework
Kocamış, Mehmet Burak; Öktem, Sevinç Figen; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2018)
Wideband near-field imaging is an emerging remote sensing technique in various applications such as airport security, surveillance, medical diagnosis, and through-wall imaging. Recently, there has been increasing interest in using sparse multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) arrays to achieve high resolution with reduced hardware complexity and cost. In this thesis, based on a statistical framework, an optimal design method is presented for two-dimensional MIMO arrays in wideband near-field imaging. Differe...
A Conceptual Model for a Metric Based Framework for the Monitoring of Information Security Tasks’ Efficiency
Sönmez, Ferda Özdemir (Elsevier BV; 2019)
Information Security Governance Systems are not adequate to measure the effectiveness and efficiency of security tasks for the enterprises. Although some of the systems offer ways for measurement, they still need the definition of measurement objectives and metrics. This study proposes a conceptual framework mode which has human and tool/process related metrics. This system also allows the collection of evidence data for security-related tasks and ways to motivate the security staff to provide a more produc...
A Survey about the integration of social engineering attacks with cyber security exploiting Turkish vulnerabilities in Turkey
Tosun, Adem; Baykal, Nazife; Department of Information Systems (2015)
Many organizations have been seeking for comprehensive and applicable security policies to regulate their security aspects. As it is a well-known issue, the weakest link of chain in Cyber security is human being and it cannot be measured easily as its being intangible. Organizations may invest millions of dollars to build technically secure systems by installing high level trusted software programs or devices. History has shown that these kind of measures neither has been that much successful or effective i...
HUMAN GAIT PARAMETER ESTIMATION BASED ON MICRO-DOPPLER SIGNATURES USING PARTICLE FILTERS
Guldogan, M. B.; Gustafsson, F.; Orguner, Umut; Bjorklund, S.; Petersson, H.; Nezirovic, A. (2011-05-27)
Monitoring and tracking human activities around restricted areas is an important issue in security and surveillance applications. The movement of different parts of the human body generates unique micro-Doppler features which can be extracted effectively using joint time-frequency analysis. In this paper, we describe the simultaneous tracking of both location and micro-Doppler features of a human using particle filters (PF). The results obtained using the data from a 77 GHz radar prove the successful usage ...
